They are back in stock. I just bought 3 of them.


Edit: just checked again, and they are gone.

Ugh! I'm about to kill someone! I've been reloading the page every six seconds, watching my screen like TV since 4:00AM trying to snatch three of my own. You'd better not be lying! Let's hope you didn't get the last three.

I envy you :p I've been reloading the page every second since 9:30 last night and haven't seen anything, and I had class today so when you bought yours I was in school... taking finals. I'm glad this week is over. (off topic :p)

But I somewhat don't cause that means they are still getting shipments.
Anyway, good luck to everybody, I hope we all manage to get at least one :apple:
 
wierdest thing, i added one to my cart, i went to check out and after i put in all my info.... it said it was processing and then i got the out of stock message. i called apple care... and they said someone must have bought it before me. i asked how if it was in my cart already and they said they don't lock it in till it is paid for. I was so MAD! oh and when i said,"well that sucks" she told me to refrain myself from cursing. lol.
 
The sad thing is... most people are just buying these so they can turn around and sell them for $400+ on eBay :( That makes me mad. I just want ONE for me. That's all. Grrrrrrr.... This sucks.

I bought another one this morning. Make sure that you also clear your cache and cookies sometimes refresh alone does not work. Good luck everyone.

BTW I don't think they are coming back :D

What time were they available? Maybe you got the ones where the CC didn't go through or people changed their minds (decided just to get a subsidized one for $50 more).
 
Let's see some receipts

Okay, I'll be the first to call bullsh*t on those claiming to have bought iPhones this morning. According to an Apple supervisor I just talked to and two page change notifiers I've registered with, as well as an Applescript I just wrote for this purpose, there have been no new iPhones posted all morning. The women did say, however, that they expect to have more later today, but that she can't guarantee it. Cheers.

Apple wouldn't intentionally make people wait
It's just a product that is currently out of stock, in the future, when the new iPhone comes out, the 3g and 1st generation iPhone would both be in the refurbished section... just like the other ipods.
I may not be correct though because the 3G is sold as a subsidized phone, but who knows. I'm just saying apple would not internationally leave the page up, trying to "tease" us. It's your choice to wait around for it.
 
AT&T is selling refurbished 3G iPhone, $50 less.

the problems with those,and there seems to be a thread over here about it, are that they're not really refurbished, they're mostly returns, with possible scratches and all..AND you need to sign a contract before-hand kinda..

Yeah, that's what I meant in my original post, the 3Gs require contracts (at least right now)

No, $50 more, sign a contract up-front, required to use data plan at $30 a month. Plus they don't even sound like they are actually refurbs, but customer returns, so in actuality they are used items.

I have no reason to make this up. I just checked my bank account, and the transaction is pending.

If someone knows of a way to blurr out some info on a screen shot- let me know, and I'll post up the pics.

If you're on a PC just use MS paint and you can cut out private information,
could you also tell me at what time you purchased the iphone?
it seems there's a trend where people buy them late at night or early in the morning
